Helpful Score: 1

HATED this book. I was introduced to Showalter's work through an anthology and thought her short story was all right. Then saw this, read the back page and thought 'wow...kickass female + alpha-male = cool.' Actually started reading it and couldn't get through the first chapter.

Her writing's all over the place; new characters kept on being introduced then ignored. There was literally no character development and the main heroine was the stereotypical complaining rebel. She complained about her job, her life, her problems, etc. I couldn't feel sorry or relate to her. The alpha-male wasn't that much of a male and the action scenes were corny. The romance scenes weren't steamy and, all in all, I can not find one good thing to recommend this book.
